Instead of a glossy design, the expected LG G6 handset will reportedly sport a matte finish. Recent leaks that surfaced online suggest this new design concept.

Matte finish for the LG G6

The Verge said that earlier leaks of the LG G6 showed that it had a glossy design. However, recent concept ideas that came out online showed a matte finish of the upcoming phone.

Aside from this, it was also shown that the LG G5 could have a dual-camera setup just like the LG G5 and also a fingerprint sensor. However, it is believed that LG is already ditching the modular concept it introduced with its last release.

Unveiling and release date

Expected to be revealed this coming February 26 at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, the LG G6 is expected to come with a 5.7-inch display and more color options for the fans and users. PocketLint added that the handset will also have a headphone jack and a USB-C port.

A CNET update, however, revealed that the LG G6 could be released as early as April 7, which is estimated to be almost a month after the expected release of the phone in South Korea this coming March 9. When it becomes available in retail stores, fans also expect it to offer a water-resistant design and come with a battery which cannot be removed.

Other highlights

It added that the LG G6 will also make the most out of its front design, incorporating very minimal bezels and using the available space for the screen. This will give users a better user experience when using the device.

The LG G6 will also reportedly have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 821 processor, Google Assistant and also support for Google Daydream. What other features would you like to see in the LG G6 when it comes out a few months from now?
